Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a deep skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, zucchini, and mushrooms, and sauté while cutting the corn kernels from the cobs. Once the veggies have softened, about 5–10 minutes, add the corn. Continue to cook until everything is tender.
Remove from heat and stir in the basil, oregano, salt, cheese, and beaten eggs until well combined.
Grease a 9-inch pie pan or line it with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the pie pan and smooth the top, arranging the zucchini slices neatly.
Cover with greased foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes to allow the top to brown.
Let the pie rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing into 6–8 wedges and serving.

Notes

Feel free to swap in different cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or feta to change the flavor profile.

For extra protein, try adding some vegetarian sausage or crumbled tofu.

Top with fresh basil, parsley, or cilantro before serving for an added burst of flavor.

If fresh corn isn’t available, you can substitute with 1½ cups of frozen corn.
